Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on December 07, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Senator Cochran! You've been representing Mississippi since 1978—back when disco was cool and cell phones were science fiction. Your leadership on the Senate Agriculture Committee helped farmers grow more than just crops; you grew opportunities for countless Americans.

And let's not forget your legendary tenure chairing the Appropriations Committee—you've balanced budgets better than most of us balance our checkbooks (or diets). Here's to another year filled with wisdom, humor, and perhaps fewer budget meetings—but plenty of cake!

Wishing you a birthday as timelessly impressive as your career—and hopefully funnier than congressional hearings. Cheers!
